The waves of cach up and the lead time of geeks is a gap fast closing.
even as we speak MS and REal are hammering out the commercial deals left
right and center while quietly jumping in bed wiht the RIAA and its
YAKFART assoicates to quash the littel fry. The leasons learned from teh
"web" are being tempered by preemptive corporate "legisaltaion"

Lookat Broadcast.com for a prime example.

I am , htough, taking much of your advice, and the advice of others on
this list, to heart. I am starting my own biz. Small at first, doing what
i need to make a steady income and jetison the day gig eventualy. My
partner in this is a born saleman with enough tech to keep him honest to
our goal.

I am beging to look into ways to do netcasting for profit, but the legal
matters are waht concern me most. Tech wise I am 1005 up to speed and
proven.

So the hats being tossed into the ring..Smallsteps, stay the course,
thousand points of lights (ohhh blinky lights).

As lou reed says "its the begining of a great adventure"
